I should have died. That was the only mercy the world owed me.
But fate is cruel. It did not let me rest, did not let me disappear. Instead, it dragged me back-forcing me into the body of Aelazia, an unfortunate princess bound to a fate far worse than death. A daughter of a kingdom drowning in secrets. A twin sister tied to a prophecy steeped in blood.
I did not ask for this life. I do not want it.
Yet no matter how much I reject it, the world moves forward, indifferent to my suffering. The people around me call my name with warmth I cannot return. Hands reach for me, expecting me to hold on. They whisper of love, of duty, of a future I refuse to accept.
But I have seen what awaits me. I know how this story ends.
And if fate thinks I will embrace this life, if it believes I will learn to love and hope again-
It is mistaken.
Because I was never meant to exist. And yet, the world refuses to let me go.
